Plan Your Day 2014
Experience Bioluminescence (Algae Light Show)
Exhibit Code: GOS-115
Zone: Science Center
Location: Thomas Gosnell Hall (GOS/008) - 1125
Time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Age Group: All Ages
Experience bioluminescence demonstrates the natural ability of the algae Pyrocystis fusiformis to emit light, through music! When visitors enter the tent, they will be able to swill beakers with small amounts of the algae to induce them to luminesce themselves. Then, during demonstration times every twenty minutes, we will be playing songs through aquariums filled with bioluminescent algae causing them to luminesce when the sound waves hit them! The light they give off will mimic the pathway taken by the sound waves as they travel through the water. This is a great exhibit for all ages, and especially children interested in life science and physics. We are geared towards demonstrating the complexity of these microscopic organisms through relatable means for everyone.

This blogger did a nice picture tour of the Tai Pan Trading store here in So. Calif.
I've mentioned how much I love going here to look at all their seasonal displays and to get ideas--this bloger obviously feels the same way. They really go all out with huge displays like the pirate one in her pictures. I may have mentioned how much I loved one they did with a very life like huge spooky tree and a little house with a witch standing next to it. I think I went back by to look at it at least three times! LOL They are kind of pricey, but sometimes have some really cute things for under $10, and some good sale prices too. Hope you enjoy looking. Luvs |

It looks a little pricier than Cmas Tree Shops. Kim mentioned on my blog how she loved my spider cupcake holder I got for 4.99! I would like to look through though! |

What fun to cyber browse there. I'd like to see that shop in person. I liked the big witch boot in the first photo, and my other favorite thing was the pretty black and white Halloween signs with the spider webs! I'm not into the scary stuff as you know. Its interesting that not only purple and green, but black and white, is really 'hot' this year in decorating. Sure makes me happy with those colors too! Thanks for sharing, and I enjoy Kim's blog. Just reading her profile on the side always makes me grin. She sounds too much like me! |
I would love to visit one of these stores! Years ago my DM would call it 'Window Shopping'.. If not to buy...just to see it all and get ideas. There seems to be so many fabulous things in there. TFS - Luvs jane |

I loved reading through her blog. She has such a wonderful sense of humor . . . not to mention, a great eye for decorating! Gosh would I love to shop at that store! So many fun decs! I really like how she's layered the picture frame in front of the mirror on her mantel and then added the wreath to it. Thanks for the link, Luvs! I'm adding Kim to my favorite blogs list. I like that girl! BTW, yesterday DD told me that I have Autumn decorating all wrong. That October should be for Halloween decs only and the Autumn decs should go up from November 1st through Thanksgiving. I may try it her way this year, since I'm already dreaming about Halloween ;^D |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Oct 4, 10 at 15:01
Glad you enjoyed seeing her blog, she takes much better pics than I could! Lynn, I used to put up Fall decs in September, then add Halloween in October, then back to just Fall for November. This year I started later, so just Halloween this month then add in more Fall for November. I think it was just too hot in Sept. this year to think about decorating for Fall, plus I get a bit tired of it when it's up too long. Have fun with your decorating. Karen, I was disappointed when I went to this store because there were no tablescapes this year for Halloween, guess they just did them for Fall which I didn't go in time to see. I really liked the black/white signs and things too. If I were into "scary", I'd have wanted a glittered skeleton too! LOL I like the way Kim writes too, and like you Karen, her introduction always cracks me up too! Luvs |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Mon, Oct 4, 10 at 18:07
Lynn, I always did it the "right way" according to your DD. But last year I tried it different by putting Fall decorations out the first day of Fall in Sept. Then after the first week of Oct I added in my Halloween stuff, and Nov 1st the turkey themed-Thanksgiving look came in. I really like seeing the Fall colors for a couple of weeks and did it again this year. (we are always hot in Sept, but a heat wave had attacked us this year and it was worse than normal. Being surrounded inside by Fall was a good thing! LOL I'm going to get out my Halloween decos this week and see what I can do, since I now find myself overloaded with the Fall stuff and may have to put some away. :o( hugs, Karen |

Narda Microwave-East, an L-3 Communications company, announced the expansion of its waveguide product line. Responding to continued customer demand, the expanded line features 130 new models in four distinct categories.
L-com Inc., a designer and manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products has introduced two new HyperLink® brand horizontal polarized waveguide omnidirectional antennas. These rugged new 2.4 GHz antennas are available in 9 dBi and 13 dBi versions.
OML announces a direct connect configuration that supports millimeter wave S-parameter measurements using the ZVA series network analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz. This entry-level configuration offers engineers the versatility to connect VxxVNA2 series modules directly to the front panel of a four-port dual-source vector network analyzer.
A.T. Wall Co., the tube drawing subsidiary of ATW Companies, will feature a variety of products at European Microwave Week, October 28-November 2, 2012, Amsterdam RAI, the Netherlands, Booth#122. The company will be showcasing its full line of waveguide products, as well as frames for microelectronic packaging. A.T. Wall's waveguide features quality assurance certification, ensuring 100 percent raw material traceability and full chemical certification.
Visitors to Stand 328 at the forthcoming EuMW exhibition will see a significant expansion in the range of passive microwave components available under the LYNX brand, which was launched four years ago through the collaboration of three leading microwave representative organisations – Elexo of France, Globes Elektronik of Germany and Link Microtek of the UK.
A.T. Wall Co., the precision stamping and tube drawing subsidiary of ATW Companies, announces that it will be showcasing a range of precision-drawn, high-quality waveguide tubing at IEEE's International Microwave Symposium (IMS2012), to be held June 17-20, 2012, in Montréal, Canada.

With the loss of flat minion damage reduction masteries, how are characters like Fizz and Orianna holding up? It was effective to take the flat damage reduction so Orianna could stomach auto harassing and Fizz could ignore minion waves like he needed to (as taking more than the most minimal damage from a creep wave makes it really hard for him to trade with anyone).
Bucky McGilicuty
Honestly it doesn't matter how many items they add or how many times they rework the masteries, as long as websites like solomid.net exist there will always be "ideal builds" for champions that will be inflexible and unshifting. That's just the nature of how DoTAs work.
when is our refund credits going to come back?
I remember the term "playstyle" being thrown around a lot when I first started... I feel like it's rather misused. Yes, different playstyles will cause someone to pick Cass, Brand and Anivia over Ahri, Diana and TF. However, if it's a mirror match (I know this won't happen in ranked) then the difference in "playstyle" just comes down to game experience e.g. last hitting, landing skill shots, etc. My point is from one character to another, there are slight differences in the same class of champion... but it's all rather stale... I know we're talking about masteries and not items... but same idea. Kind of.
@Roku I find this interesting that you're posting about Barrier, an extremely anti-burst summoner spell, with your Veigar icon. Veigar is my most favorite champion ever for all time, so I wanted to know - how did pure-burst mages like Veigar fare against champions with Barrier? I imagine it would act as complete nullification of the role of "bursting" and make any AP Mid unviable that wasn't a low-CD poke-burst, like Lux or Diana. Thoughts? Data?
Could you let us know if Zed is coming this week? I need a new assasin to master and carry me to high elo. Talon's getting a little boring (Since he can't e to ally/wards for epic escapes)
When the masteries are deleted, will our current pages be blank (and still retain the name), or will we have a single un-named mastery page?

another fine line / grey area of the wording question.
of course cost 2's can only COMMIT to negotium, but is the actual act COMMIT, seperate to the definition COMMITTED??
it could be said that the black dog doesn't COMMIT to a story using its special ability, but enters play already COMMITTED.
therefor the question is, can it 'phase in' to a different story if negotium is in play???

I think harem pants are just adorable on babies. It's casual coolness plus enough ease to cover a diaper. This pattern is inspired by my RTW pants. I drafted it for elastic rather drapey jersey. However you can also use a T-shirt (at least size L) and elastic ribbing for waistband and cuff.
The outfit on the last picture is 100% self made, it's a baby bear hat posted here http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/baby-bear-hat self knitted socks and a Breton shirt, same pattern as the handyman tee posted here http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/handyman-onesie-and-tee

Why drinking alcohol for your heart is really a gamble
Countless studies have shown that a glass of wine or even a bottle of beer helps fight heart disease. The latest: A Harvard study of physicians found that those who consumed alcohol in moderate amounts (two drinks daily up to 7 days a week for men, one drink for women) slashed their heart disease risk by 37 percent (New England Jour. of Medicine, Jan 9, 2003). But there's a big problem with studies that suggest you start drinking alcohol for your health.
"This finding doesn't necessarily apply to real people," challenges Tim Naimi, MD, internist and alcohol researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. "Most people who got into trouble with alcohol--became alcoholics, went to jail for drunk driving or spouse abuse, or partied so hard in college that they couldn't get into medical school in the first place--would have never been eligible for this study."
It's impossible to know how many study participants developed alcohol-related problems. But Dr. Naimi believes that if you don't already drink, it's not a good idea to start.
"There's a big difference between alcohol use and alcohol abuse, which kills 100,000 Americans a year, making it the third leading cause of preventable death after smoking and inactivity/overeating," says Dr. Naimi. His research found that 30 percent of male "moderate" drinkers go on alcohol binges (five or more drinks at one time) at least once a month (JAMA, Jan 1, 2003). He says binge drinkers are involved in many more automobile accidents, suffer more burns, commit more violence against spouses and children, and suffer more heart attacks.So there's no way you can know whether starting to drink a glass or two of wine at dinner every day won't eventually develop into alcohol abuse. While a family history of alcoholism is a good clue that you're vulnerable, even those who don't have the disease in their clan can develop a problem, says Dr. Naimi.
"Even if moderate alcohol consumption might prevent some heart attacks, most experts would not approve a new therapy that causes thousands of deaths from accidents, stomach and esophageal cancers, and liver disease," says Dr. Naimi. And of course, pregnant women shouldn't drink, nor should anyone on medications that interact with alcohol. "There are no national guidelines to suggest that people who don't drink should start for a health benefit. I would personally question the judgment of a doctor who would recommend a lifestyle change so fraught with risks when others are safer, cheaper, and more effective," he says.

Happy Festa della Donna
March 8th is International Women's Day
There are all sorts of ways to celebrate this occasion, with food and flowers usually being part of the tradition. I have received a lovely sprig of Mimosa and a yellow pansy to commemorate the occasion. The hunters group of which my father in law is a part of took all of their wives out for lunch to day to honor the occasion. There have been marches in the capital today to raise awareness of violence against women and awards given to a variety of women for a variety of reasons. As I have stated before I find it rather peculiar that it isn't a holiday that has caught on in America even though is is where it originated.
I took this photo last year in Pinerolo after the festivities were over and wanted make sure to use it as it is such a lovely tree. This year we're a ways a way from the trees being in bloom, but things are melting out and spring is on it's way and that indeed is occasion enough to celebrate. Do you celebrate International Women's Day where you live?

The winner of seven consecutive Best Custom Framing awards from CityVoter users, Masterpieces Fine Art & Custom Framing stocks more than 2,300 frames, including work by industry mainstay Larson-Juhl. Its skilled framers meld function and aesthetic form to secure works of art in everything from American hardwood to 22-karat-gold-leafing frames to metal handcuffs. Aside from framing, the staff also restores faded or creased photos to their original vivid states and brings photos to life by converting them into imitation oil paintings or watercolors that look like they were born from hours of meticulous brushstrokes.
The experts at Art & Frame Express help customers tweak the colors and textures of each custom-framed project until it's ready. This helps clients make informed decisions among the store's simple and ornate frames before the professionals transform an oil painting, tapestry, or diploma into a wall-ready masterpiece. In addition to outlining artwork, the staff uses digital printing to generate archival-quality giclées, design photo collages, and restore photographs taken during the days when cameras ran on coal. They also pair homeowners with artwork and snap passport photos before international flights.
Since equipping the world with its first wood-slat recliner in 1928, La-Z-Boy has branded itself as a well-known producer of high-quality furniture, including their signature recliner, loveseats, ottomans, upholstered sofas, accent tables, and much more. The Urbana oval end table ($249 and up) is genetically engineered to keep junk mail off the ground and blocks the couch's attempts to stretch out into the hall. A host of recliners, sofas, sectionals, the demi stationary chair and sleepers are also waiting to invade homes with their tasteful presence.
Rachel Carosiello knows that new things don't always have to look new, and that old-fashioned and boring are not the same thing. At Modern Vintage Home, she's curated a selection of unique, timeless pieces that could just as easily fit in to an ultra-modern living space as they could in an old home. Here, visitors will find an ever-changing stock of furnishings, from cow-hide chairs to blown-glass pendant lamps, and many pieces can be customized using thousands of fabrics. In addition to chairs and lamps, the store also holds an impressive collection of, carpets, artwork, tabletop items, and gifts, all thoughtfully arranged to show customers how they could potentially work together inside their home or the home of a vacationing friend.
With thousands of frame and mat samples, The Great Frame Up can satisfy any and all framing fantasies. The expert framespeople can make diplomas radiate (most diplomas can be framed for around $100-$200), personalized jerseys glisten (most for under $300), and dorm-room movie posters sparkle (many 24" x 36" pieces are under $100). The design wizards can also find a home for any prized possession, such as shoebox photos, baby booties, ticket stubs, medals, and really good pot roasts. The Great Frame Up's no-hassle guarantee and assurance that all work is done on-site means your frameables won't be subject to mistreatment at underground commercial framing facilities.

Andros Bahamas is laced with thousands of miles of inland waterways and fishing flats. North, Middle and South Bights cut right through the island, east to west, creating a natural access to even more flats on the west side of the island. These provide world-class conditions for fly fishermen in pursuit of bonefish and tarpon.
Andros Island, with its 140-mile long reef and its extensive inland flats offers serious challenges to spincasters and fly fishermen. Small Hope Bay Lodge has its own in-house guides and boats. We use three guides primarily, plus a team of the best independent guides to offer great Bahamas Bonefishing, Reef Fishing, and Deep Sea Fishing.
We use the best and most qualified guides to offer these five options:
Wide open fishing flats in North Andros.
Approximately one-hour drive each way, a nominal transportation fee applies.
You leave just outside of the Red Bays settlement, the only settlement on the north west coast of Andros. Then head south fishing the pristine west coast, fishing in flats and creeks along the way.
An approximate 1-hour drive each way, access to the northern western part of the island to get to the west side, a nominal transportation fee applies.
Light bottom creek with good ocean flats, and more.
Approximately ten-minute drive each way (best option for half-day fishing excursions) free transportation.
Wide open area with cays, goes straight through island to west side.
Approximately 45 minute drive each way, a nominal transportation fee applies.
Available in most destinations. Young Sound and going to South Andros are great.
Access by boat from Fresh Creek, a nominal transportation fee applies.
Walk down Small Hope's beach to Davis Creek. Try the Bay right in front of your cabin. There is also Fresh Creek, and many more secret spots.
All areas are approximately a 10-20 minute walk, or bike ride each way.
Bonefishing | Reef Fishing | Deep Sea Fishing | West Side Overnight
We at Small Hope Bay Lodge believe it takes more than world-class conditions to have a world-class bahamas fishing experience.
Sure, we have bonefish! Great schools of them and thousands of miles of flats. Tarpon, too. Serious fly fishermen come here and try to keep it all to themselves. We have great reef fishing, Grouper school in December and January, mutton snapper run in the summer. Dolphin and tuna and more keep spincasters fed.
We also have great guides who have experience not just in fishing, but in catering to fishermen. They know the waters, and their boats are sound and properly equipped.
Then there's the food and drink. We believe in eating well-very well. We pack you a great lunch each day you go out to the flats. And greet you with a great dinner when you return.
And we offer you a great place to stay, Small Hope Bay Lodge of Fresh Creek.
At Small Hope Bay Lodge your family won't be bored while you head out to the flats, or out to sea. We offer a relaxed resort atmosphere with a full program of diving and snorkeling. We offer bicycles, kayaks, a sailboat, windsurfers, and a sailboat. We also have a hot tub on the beach, nature trails, solarium, open bar, and great food.
Deep Sea Fly fishing: November, December, February, March, April.
Tackle and equipment are included on all trips. Times subject to change with tides and weather.
Quotes from Small Hope Bay Lodge's guests:
"When the first 20 pound bonefish is landed on a fly rod, it will be on Andros!""Any man who goes fishing just to catch fish, doesn't know what the heck he's out there for!"

Motolight Mounting
I first have to say that I think Motolights are a great product. I mounted them on a R1100RT in '99 and switched them to several other bikes until I sold a GS in '08 and left them on the bike. Motolights always took care of me replacing the old bands that mounted the lights on the forks and the seals at no cost.
OK, enough boasting. I just received a set of new Motolights for free, which is the best kind, and would like to mount them on my 990. The lights came with the brake caliper mounts but I'm not sure if I want to mount them there. Has anyone else mounted these lights somewhere else? Ideas and pictures would be great. Thanks.

The importance of adopting quality financial reporting and governance for the benefit of an organization and how that benefit creates value to the owners of the organization was highlighted at a program organized recently by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka).
The program which focused on the relevance of reporting, both externally and internally also identified commonly encountered "sins" in reporting, and the limitations existent in corporate reporting.
The program which featured two highly competent resource persons, Bachchi Samahon-Oumar and Richard Ebell also discussed matters relating to fraud and the need for due diligence by an investor. They also touched on factors constraining regulation, while emphasizing the important role of people and honest communication in good governance.
The program saw the participation of directors, CFOs, general managers, finance managers, accountants, auditors and business consultants.
In his presentation, Samahon-Oumar shared a personal experience on the start-up stage of a company, and creating value for shareholders, while also touching on the adequacy of financial information in public traded companies.
Ebell in his presentation gave an overview on the lessons learnt from major frauds, and what is governance and how does it helps. He also shared his experience on essential elements of governance and how regulation must be effective.
Bachchi Samahon-Oumar has 20 plus years' experience in finance and management. He has worked at Syringa Networks LLC as Vice President / CFO for the last twelve years. Syringa owns and operates a state-wide Fiber Optic Network serving the telecommunications industry in the US States of Idaho and Utah.
Richard Ebell, a fellow of CA Sri Lanka and counts for 37 years of post- qualification accounting, commercial and general management experience. He worked for Hayleys PLC for many of those years, in finance and operations, and was the Finance Director when he left the company in 2009. He now serves as an Independent Non-Executive Director of Finlays Colombo PLC, Laugfs Capital Ltd, and Softlogic Holdings PLC.
The program concluded with a panel session which included the speakers and Partner – KPMG Suren Rajakarier. The session was moderated by Chairperson of the Financial Reporting Faculty Ms. Nilanthi Sivapragasam.

Great with your morning coffee. Easy to make too. Not quite as good as Starbuck's maple scones though...wouldn't I love that recipe.
These really are wonderful. As for keeping buttermilk on hand, try using dry buttermilk (available in MD under the brand name Saco). You simply add the dry powder to the other dry ingredients; the directions suggest using water with this product, but I generally use rice milk or rice milk -- I'm lactose-intolerant, and this seems to work. I also suggest brushing the the scones with cream before putting them in the oven, and baking them on an inverted baking sheet to reduce the chances of scorched bottoms.
Love these flaky, tender scones. Great for breakfast straight out of the oven. Easy to make -- if you remember to keep buttermilk on hand, you can have these anytime.
These scones are wonderful, I've made them several times. They are so tender and hearty we have them for breakfast often, we consider them a real treat.

Description The present invention relates to media, systems and a method for aiding medical professionals in the diagnosis of heart conditions. The present invention relates more particularly to the use of heart sounds to provide such diagnoses. The invention further relates to a system and apparatus which help to familiarize practitioners with the relation between specific heart sounds and corresponding heart conditions. One of the oldest basic techniques employed in the practice of medicine is auscultation, which involves listening, either directly or through a stethoscope or other instrument, to heart sounds and making at least a preliminary diagnosis based thereon. This form of diagnosis is widely used because it requires nothing more than a stethoscope which, by its nature, is highly portable and relatively inexpensive, reasonably acute hearing and the knowledge to interpret the sounds heard. Conventionally, this knowledge has been conveyed by allowing students to listen to a variety of heart sounds and instructing the students on the condition represented by each different sound. The value of this training depends to a considerable degree on the student's audible memory and very few resources are available for refreshing a practitioner's skills in this area. However, acquisition and retention of those skills is a problem, particularly when one considers that the explosion of medical knowledge has of necessity reduced the time which can be devoted to teaching auscultation in medical schools. In light of an acknowledged need for resources which can be used to learn or relearn auscultation, various types of media providing recorded versions of various heart sounds have been placed on the market. These media include a variety of word descriptions of the individual sounds by analogy to generally known sounds. For example, such descriptions may use words such as "rough", "smooth", "train wheel", etc. to describe various heart sounds and murmurs. Of course, the manner in which these descriptions would be interpreted varies considerably from one individual to another. These known media do not permit the knowledge required to arrive at diagnoses by auscultation to be learned, or relearned, in either an acceptably short time or with the requisite degree of accuracy. Therefore, the methods and systems proposed to date fall far short of that which is needed to place the practitioner in a position to make effective use of this potentially powerful diagnostic technique. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to facilitate the learning or relearning of auscultation. A more specific object of the invention is to make full use of available phonetic systems to assist in the transition from detection of a heart sound to identification of the condition which it represents. The above and other objects are achieved, according to the invention, by methods, apparatus, including computerized apparatus, and reference devices which provide a phonetic representation of each heart sound which is currently recognized to correspond to an identifiable condition, and a description of the condition itself. In further accordance with the invention, apparatus is provided to inform the practitioner of the position in which the patient should be placed during auscultation, the further examinations that should be made for the condition detected and treatments which may be required. Teaching aids according to the invention may be embodied in cards having areas which bear phonetic representations of heart sounds associated with different medical conditions and areas which bear identifications of associated heart conditions, or diagnoses. The areas are associated with one another such that each phonetic representation is juxtaposed with the identification of the associated heart condition. The phonetic representations preferably employ international phonetic notations which can be interpreted by anyone familiar with the alphabet and phonetic symbols, but not necessarily familiar with the English language. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of apparatus for implementing the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of a program according to the present invention. FIGS. 3 and 4 are pictorial views of two screens which appear in the operation of a method according to the invention. FIGS. 5A and 5B show the front and back of a display card according to the invention. In a computerized embodiment of the present invention, all the necessary software and data is stored on a suitable storage medium, which may be a diskette, a hard drive, a CD-ROM, a laser disk, or any other available medium having sufficient capacity. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a conventional computer system which may constitute such a computerized embodiment. This system includes a main unit 2 containing a CPU 4, floppy disk drive 6, and CD-ROM drive 8, as well as an appropriate amount of memory and I/O devices. Minimum peripheral components include a monitor 10, a keyboard 12 and a pointing device such as a mouse 14. The basic functions to be performed by any system according to the invention include: display of a phonetic representation of the heart sounds which are utilized for diagnosis, associated with a display of the medical condition associated with each heart sound. It is recognized that there are 13 distinct heart sounds, one of which is the sound made by a normal heart, and the others of which are indicative of various abnormal conditions. Recordings have been made of the sounds produced by the hearts of a large number of patients and a careful analysis of those recordings has revealed that each of the 13 heart sounds can be accurately represented by international or American English phonetic symbols, allowing any practitioner who is familiar with the phonetic system to identify any heart sound produced by a patient. FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating the basic structure of a program implementing the present invention. The program was implemented by configuring a commercially available program sold under the name Macromedia Director, which employs the programming language known as Lingo. As shown in FIG. 2, the programming begins with the generation and display of an introduction page 20, followed by the generation and presentation of a main interface 22 having the appearance shown in FIG. 3, to be described below. This main interface offers selection of either phonetic representations 24 of the various heart sounds, or reproductions 26 of the corresponding actual heart sounds. Selection of either the phonetic representation 24 or the actual reproduction 26 invokes a respective menu 28, 30 which lists all of the heart sounds 32 according to their phonetic representations. In connection with a selection from either menu 28 or 30, the program leads to the retrieval and display of data, which includes one or more of the medical condition represented by the heart sound, examination methods to be used, the patient position for confirming the existence of that heart sound and the indicated treatment. The software is configured to respond to inputs, for example from keyboard 12 or pointing device 14, to display a series of screens which proceed from representations of heart sounds in various forms to a description of the condition represented by that sound, information about the position in which the patient should be placed in order to verify that the selected sound is being produced and information about further tests and/or treatments indicated by that condition. Exemplary screens of a computer implemented embodiment of the type described above are illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 shows a main interface screen and control panel including a first region 40 containing an animated display of a stylized heart, as well as a phonogram 42 and a phonetic representation 44 of a selected heart sound. That region further contains two arrows 46, 48 which, when selected by a pointing device 14, such as a mouse, inserts into this region the phonogram and phonetic representation of a subsequent heart sound. This region is surrounded by a control area which includes, beginning from the top left, regions, or "buttons" 50, 52 for selecting either the phonetic reproduction of the presently selected heart sound or a reproduction of the heart sound itself. Below that is a button 54 which allows selection of any one of several heart rates, e.g. high, normal or low. Below that is a pair of control arrows 56 which allows selection of the volume of reproduced sounds. At the bottom left corner of the panel is a control button 58 which can be activated via the mouse to cause the animated heart to display a simulated beating motion. At the bottom center of the panel there is provided a data button 60 which, when activated, switches the display area of the screen to a first patient data screen (not shown) on which the condition represented by the heart sound and the further examinations to be performed are displayed. This screen further includes an arrow which, when selected with the aid of the pointing device generates a second patient data screen, shown in FIG. 4. This screen presents a description 66 of the position in which the patient should be placed to confirm that the indicated heart sound has been produced and the treatment indicated. Each of the patient display screens has an arrow 70 which enables the user to toggle between those two screens. Returning to FIG. 3, when the user has finished consulting the information on the patient data screens about a particular heart sound, the "DONE" button in the display area is selected, resulting in a return to the main interface screen. When the user wishes to exit the program, the "EXIT" button 62 is selected. This produces an exit screen, where the user is given an opportunity to verify the selected operation. Any button is operated by placing a cursor on the button with the aid of the pointing device and then operating a button on the pointing device. According to the invention, the heart sounds used for diagnosis are represented in the following phonetic forms: ______________________________________PHONETIC INDICATEDREPRESENTATION CONDITION______________________________________ ##STR1## ##STR2##______________________________________ FIGS. 5A and 5B are enlarged views of the front and back, respectively, of a pocket card displaying phonograms, phonetic representations and heart condition descriptions for the heart sounds employed in medical diagnoses. The information is arranged in numbered groups 1 to 13 and within each group there is shown a phonogram 80, the associated phonetic equivalent 82, located beneath the phonogram, and the resulting condition description 84, disposed to the right of the phonogram and phonetic equivalent. Each phonetic equivalent is related to its associated phonogram in that each phonetic equivalent phoneme is disposed directly below its associated phonogram pictographic element. The phonogram symbols are conventional and the phonetic equivalents are expressed by American English phonetic symbols. The right-hand portion of the side of the card shown in FIG. 5A also includes a key 86 to certain of the phonetic notations employed. The side of the card shown in FIG. 5B depicts the various heart murmurs which are encountered during auscultation. A particular feature of the card is the physical association of a phonogram, phonetic symbols and a description of the associated condition for each distinct heart sound. This enables the physician to quickly obtain a diagnosis from the sound which has been heard. While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects and, therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
